About Shane
Woods
My name is Shane Woods.
At the time of writing this I am just about
to turn 33. I was born in Orange California
and grew up all over southern California,
Arizona, and Nevada. (We kind of moved
around) Now I am not going to sit here and
bore you with a bunch of childhood stories
because really it is not that important. So
I’ll just skip ahead a
little.
When
I turned 18 I moved to the Memphis TN area
(and have been here ever since) and like
many young adults I turned to one of the
only jobs that I could get, working in the
restaurant industry. I had already been
working in restaurants since I was 15 so it
was an easy fit. I also found that I was
really good at it, so this is where I found
myself for the next twelve years of my
life.
I had
a few ventures into other fields but for
the most part I worked as a waiter or
bartender. Now there is nothing wrong with
this and in truth I made a good living
doing it. I just wanted something more. I
think I was 24-25 when it just really
started to eat at me. So I dibbled and
dabbled a little into things. I joined
different programs but I never really took
it serious.
So a
few more years go by and it’s now 2003 and
I and 28 years old and those feeling of
wanting something more where stronger than
ever. It was at this point that I really
started to listen to those feeling and I
hoped on the internet looking for a way to
make a change. Now I really did not know
what I was looking for but there had to be
something right the internet is huge. The
thing was I found hundreds even thousands
of comments like the one we started with
and it’s not that I was naïve and believed
all of the statements but with that many so
of them had to true.
This was it I had found
my answer I was going to work from home on
my computer and never have to worry and a
J.O.B (Just Over Broke) again. It didn’t
matter what it took I was going to make
this happen. So I got ready and jumped in
full force.
Now I would love to say
that things just took off from there but
they did not. My first year with an online
business was a massive failure! It seemed
like I couldn’t do anything right. But I
did not let it stop me. Like I said I was
going to make this happen. I poured all my
efforts into my business, if I stumbled I
just made sure to learn from it and move
on. And as I started to move into the
second year things started to come to
together.
Little by little, piece
by piece thing fell into place. My efforts
started to pay off and eventually I found
success and in February 2006, I was able to
leave the restaurant industry for good. No
more alarm clocks waking me up. No fighting
with traffic to get to work. I could take
breaks when I felt like. I was and am able
to do thing at my pace you can’t beat
that.
A little later that year
I moved into the six figure income range. I
had done it I could now make those
statements and it was at this point I
started to think about exactly how did I
get here and I give myself a lot of credit
for sticking with it and believing in
myself but credit must go to the many tools
and mentors that I have worked with over
the years.
It is true that if you
want to be successful you will need to find
someone that is successful and do what they
do. Now that does not mean you have to be a
robot but it there are many, many things it
learn about building a business online and
following someone that has done it will
speed your process.
Well there is not much
more to say I am now 33 years old and I
still am working from home with great
success.
